So, how many people have been sentenced to death, based on this shaky evidence?
As an aside, even if "one in a million" were true, we're talking about 300+ matches in the US and 7000+ in the world.
IMHO, then the correct question to ask is: "given there are 300 people in the US whose DNA matches the one of the murderer, how likely is it that the defendent is the murderer?"
